Sonny Rollins is another living link with Parker.
Finally got everything together for the big day/ week/ month. Early on I decided Massey Hall (complete) would go in the car, though I haven't yet checked what journeys I'm likely to make that day.
I've still got the Dial Masters double CD but comparable sets on Savoy and Verve seem to have moved on, though I played the Verve Jazz Masters on Verve 15 yesterday as a warmup. I bought some cheap ones a couple of years back, including that and Early Bird by the Jay McShann Orchestra featuring Charlie Parker. There may have been others but I can't find any. Nor have I found Blue Bird which is all Bird and Miles, but I've played it quite recently anyway. If all else fails, Francis has a ten disc boxset with absolutely no accompanying information, though I think it only cost as many quids.
One of the first (non jazz funk) jazz albums I ever bought was by Bird, but it was just the one in the record shop in the early eighties. It took me years to realise it wasn't just people trying to play as many notes as quickly as possible. I got the Duke before I got Bird, though Satchmo took even longer, presumably because it's even older.
